"What Am I Living For" lyrics
(originally by Chuck Willis)
What am I living for, if not for you?
What am I living for, if not for you?
Tell me, what am I living for, if not for you?
Baby, nobody else, nobody else will do
What am I longing for each lonely night?
To feel you close to me, to hold you tight
I tell ya, you'll be the only girl my whole life through
Oh, nobody, nobody else will do
I want you close to me, that's all I know
I need you around me all the time, cause darling I love you so
What am I living for, if not for you?
Tell me, what am I longing for, if it's not for you?
You see, you'll be the only girl my whole life through
Oh, nobody else, nobody else will do
I don't need nobody but you
To see me through
You see you got that certain stroke
That sets my soul on fire
You see you've got that tender kiss
That's my heart's desire
You see you got that squeeze
That knows how to please
What am I living for, if not for you?
Tell me, what am I living for, if not for you?
Baby, nobody else, nobody else will do
What am I longing for each lonely night?
To feel you close to me, to hold you tight
I tell ya, you'll be the only girl my whole life through
Oh, nobody, nobody else will do
I want you close to me, that's all I know
I need you around me all the time, cause darling I love you so
What am I living for, if not for you?
Tell me, what am I longing for, if it's not for you?
You see, you'll be the only girl my whole life through
Oh, nobody else, nobody else will do
I don't need nobody but you
To see me through
You see you got that certain stroke
That sets my soul on fire
You see you've got that tender kiss
That's my heart's desire
You see you got that squeeze
That knows how to please
